THE NEW # 1 BURGLAR SECRET: I WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT YOUR “FACE BOOK” SITE AND READ
WHERE YOU TOLD A FRIEND THE EXACT DATES YOU WOULD BE OUT OF TOWN WHICH GAVE ME
A LOT OF TIME TO EMPTY YOUR HOUSE.
1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or
delivering your new refrigerator.
2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I
was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste … And taste means there are nice things inside.
Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in
your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.
5. If it snows while you’re out of town, get a neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house.
Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don’t let your alarm company install the control
pad where I can see if it’s set. That makes it too easy.
7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink. And the windows on the second floor,
which often access the master bedroom- and your jewelry. It’s not a bad idea to put motion detectors
up there too.
8. It’s raining, you’re fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable.
But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather.
9. I always knock first. If you answer, I’ll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters.
(Don’t take me up on it.)
10. Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside
table, and the medicine cabinet.
11. Here’s a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids’ rooms.
12. You’re right: I won’t have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But
if it’s not bolted down, I’ll take it with me.
13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you’re reluctant to
leave your TV on while you’re out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and
simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv.com

We’re bringing the popular 30-state CCW class to the range Saturday January 30th, at 10 a.m. Cost is $125 (Platinum members free, all other members $112.50). After the class, you’ll be eligible to apply for a non-resident CCW card from Florida & Utah. 30 other states recognize those cards with reciprocity, so you’ll be legal to carry in 30 states. There are a few miscellaneous things to do after the class, such as get fingerprint cards and photos, but we’ll have that available as well for a low fee, right after class. Call the range at 353-4884 to reserve a place, sometimes this class sells out, so reserve a spot as soon as possible. More information is available at www.ccwusa.com

We still have all calibers available, including 9mm, 32, 357, 380, 38, and 40. The industry predicts supplies will remain fairly normal for most of 2010, but the closer we get to 2011, supplies in California will get very tight due to people storing up in advance of the February 2011 implementation of AB937. Why not begin to stock up now, and avoid the high prices and low supplies likely to occur later this year!

The FNRA Dinner is coming up the weekend before the Fair opens. This is always a fun event, and usually sells completely out. You can see more at www.ivfnra.org, or you can print out the flyer herehttp://www.friendsofnra.org/eventdocs/California/2010IVFNRApg1.pdf
We have just 20 more tickets available at the range, come on over and buy them right here. The dinner is February 19th at the Swiss Club in Holtville. You can win great guns, camping & outdoor items, accessories, paintings & sculptures, and all sorts of cool stuff. Its a family-oriented event. Call Kris at the range for more details.

We just got back from our annual buyer’s convention, and any day now we should be getting new Springfield XD’s, new Glocks, several AR-style .22 long guns in different brands, and more new guns and merchandise. Come in to the range and see the new stuff! Also, we need to move out what’s left from last year, so we have reduced the price of our in-stock Sigs by $50-$100 each!
Next week we’ll attend the annual Shooting, Hunting, & Outdoor Trades show (SHOT Show), and we’ll be bringing back even more new, cool, stuff from that show as well.
